@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator hi phill do you always overlap round the corner 5mm onto the next wall,im a total noob, if so with both the lining paper and finish paper?, thanks

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

@@leeyo5494 with finish paper yes Lining paper before a finish paper, no need. You don't want extra build up of thickness. Cut to the corner. Then I run some Decorators caulk down the corner to get it neat.

[@jacquelinecarr2738]

Hi Phil, have you ever hung anaglypta? Would you do the same overlap into the corner? Thanks!

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

Yes I have. Not for a long while, it's not in fashion at the moment. Do you mean the paper duplex anaglypa paper, or the blown vinyl style? Depends on the texture of the paper. If it's heavy, it may be a near cut into the corner and match it with the pattern on the way out. Without seeing the paper, I'd make the decision when hanging it.

Hi Phil loving all the videos! Can I ask you what happens when your lining paper comes away from the wall when papering the final paper? Had an experience of papering over some other painters lining and when the pasted paper hit it the lining came off any ideas ? Thanks

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

Hi thanks. My lining paper doesn't come off??? I never go over anyone else's lining. You only want them missing areas of the lining when they paste it. Or they've not sized the walls correctly and the paste on the lining gets sucked in.. and takes it off the lining. Did the whole lining come off or show as a bubble that looked in pasted... When dried did it pull back? Moral of the story, trust your own lining/work. Well only go over lining if we've done it.

[@donnagammell]

@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator thanks yeah all cam off think it was the water content on the packet paste that did it, learnt a lesson in that one! Exactly that - never go over anyone Else’s lining was early on in my wallpapering days lol having trouble reading your replies to me they are pushed over too far to the right and I can’t read the last few words on each sentence so guessing some lol prob to do with my settings but anyway, thanks for taking the time to answer my question cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@peterkirkham5648]

loving the vids as still learning. MY problem is finding the pattern match .... is there an easy way of doing it without lifting the roll up to the previously hung piece...... any chance of showing it on a vid? Realise a big ask but do find this problem holds me back and so frustrates me as think a bit colour blind or something that puddles my brain when looking for this pattern match without holding rolls of paper up..... thanks in advance

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

TBH if it's a paste the wall.. work off the roll.. a a few rolls, you'll have an idea what part of the paper to need to match to. If it's a paste the paper... A blown vinyl.. with a daft, hardly see it patter repeat... Use the paste board. Use your pencil to do a little mark where the pattern repeats. That way you'll get your eyes focused on where the repeat is. Does that help?

[@peterkirkham5648]

@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator yes it does... really appreciate you taking time out to send a personal reply.... love the videos and learn a fair bit already..... many thanks and keep youtubing!

What laser and laser pole do you use

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

I've videos on it. LaserLiner and an extension roller pole with a sanding pad end with a cloth innit to wedge against the ceiling and not damage it

👍👍 Great vid thanks

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@philc5513]

Yep. Always butt the joints up. How my father taught me as well.

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

There's no reason not to. ;)

[@andyttfn]

After reading comments . To say non woven doesn't expand is very naive in my humble opinion.

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

What do you do with non woven paste the wall Andy?

[@donnagammell]

Nor does it shrink !

@@alexthomson7465 actually Brian has worked for us since the age of 15... in 1966. My dad went self employed in 1965. He's with me on a job next week.. I was with Brian on a job last week.

[@dangermouse00]

Sometimes the lining paper wasn't cut 100 percent on the rollers when made. So that inevitable butt joint overlaps somewhere when hanging.. That's why a gap was left.you should know this or dad would of.

[@ProfessionalPainterDecorator]

If it overlaps... Let it dry, sand it off. Or seam roller over it to push it down Yeah, bad trimming in days of old.... But in this day and age you'd expect precision cutting machines :)
